COLLINGWOOD is set to start the season without Luke Ball, Dale Thomas and Alan Didak.
Ball has suffered hamstring soreness following a graft to repair his injured knee, Thomas is recovering slowly from ankle surgery before Christmas, and Didak is almost ready to return from a hamstring injury.
Thomas is listed as 3-4 weeks away on the Magpies injury list with Ball sidelined for three weeks.
Collingwood opens its season against North Melbourne in 19 days.
Last week the Pies admitted they had eased back Ball's training load after he complained of tenderness where a piece of the hamstring tendon was removed to replace his torn knee ligament.
Key defender Reid is listed as 1-2 weeks away from a return after hurting his knee in the Magpies' NAB Cup win against West Coast last week.
Didak, 30, has not appeared at all in the NAB Cup but the Pies say a return is "not far away".
"Alan is getting towards the sharp end of his recovery," football director Geoff Walsh told the club website.
"He is stepping up his training and has had no setbacks. He's on target for a return in three weeks' time."
